Moving according to his will, Hao Ren placed both palms on Xiao Bai and sequentially pressed his six fingers onto its six acupoints. With two thumbs pressing against Xiao Bai's beast palace, a substantial amount of spiritual energy was infused into its body.
Initially, Xiao Bai instinctively tried to struggle but, having learned from the previous experience, it quickly understood Hao Ren's intentions and lay still without causing any trouble.
Hao Ren had thoroughly sensed the meridians within Xiao Bai’s body during his last attempt, so he didn’t hesitate in sending two streams of spiritual energy into its left and right main meridians.
"Hm" Duan Yao, who was sleeping on the bed's edge, opened her eyes blearily to see Hao Ren sitting beside her on a makeshift mattress.
Hao Ren turned his head slightly and noticed Duan Yao.
Despite several hours of sleep, she still had a somewhat dazed look in her eyes but her complexion was more radiant than before. Before being sent to the Mystic Peak, she faced the wall at Mount Heaven's Guilt Cliff while wearing an ice and fire cuff, never getting proper rest; when brought to the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons by Consort Zhen, despite having her constitution adjusted, she still went without sleep for days.
This time around, after finally succumbing to overwhelming drowsiness, she had managed to get a comfortable sleep in her enemy's soft embrace...
The most restful dream of her life was made on the body of someone who was her mortal enemy... thinking about it made Duan Yao’s heart feel rather uneasy.
At this moment, upon noticing that Duan Yao had seen him, Hao Ren paid no heed and continued activating Xiao Bai's beast palace.
The "Transformation Technique" wasn't particularly deep nor shallow. After Consort Zhen implanted the cultivation method into Hao Ren’s mind, he understood it but actually putting it to use was not as easy as that.
Xiao Bai was a grade C妖獸and, in terms of divine beast bloodline concentration, quite inferior—only slightly better than the worst grade D妖獸. To activate the ancient divine beast's bloodline within Xiao Bai using the "Transformation Technique," Hao Ren needed to expend considerable effort.
However, when Hao Ren previously performed the "Transformation Technique," he was only at rank Geng, equivalent to the Core Formation Realm; but now, having broken through to rank Dui, he had reached the Soul Formation Realm.
A third-stage妖獸was on par with the Core Formation Realm in terms of cultivation, yet due to妖獸having different bones and muscles compared to cultivators, its strength surpassed that of a cultivator at the same realm.
Hao Ren, with the realm of Core Formation, found it somewhat strenuous to nourish Xiao Bai's meridians, which were also at the Core Formation realm, and the effect wasn't great. However, if he used his Nascent Soul realm to nurture a third-level Xiao Bai, it would feel relatively easier.
From Kun grade to Dui grade was equivalent to advancing from Core Formation to Nascent Soul realm, which marked a groundbreaking transformation. Hao Ren felt that he could easily defeat three or four of his former selves at their previous levels.
Xiao Bai spread its limbs, belly pressed against the rug, allowing Hao Ren's spiritual energy to expel impurities within its body.
Usually, a妖獸 (yaozoo) needed to reach seventh or eighth stage before it could develop considerable intelligence and engage in effective cultivation; otherwise, they merely gulped down celestial qi crudely and improved their strength through battles.
Duan Yao opened her eyes to watch Hao Ren as he infused Xiao Bai with spiritual energy. She had seen this method of nurturing snow lions at the Heaven Mountain Sect before but felt that Hao Ren's technique was different from what she knew.
Under the moonlight, a layer of white mist-like glow enveloped Hao Ren’s body while Xiao Bai’s fur gradually stood on end. Man and beast seemed to resonate with each other in some way.
Hao Ren’s dragon core and Xiao Bai's internal core both fundamentally belonged to the category of妖丹 (yao dan). Furthermore, as a relatively stable master-pet relationship, Hao Ren and Xiao Bai had certain connections.
The moonlight was gentle and steady; time seemed to stand still. Sweat began to bead on Hao Ren’s forehead. From an open-eyed state, he entered a closed-eyed mode, fully focused on performing the Transformation Technique for Xiao Bai.
Duan Yao stared at him, suddenly feeling this was her best chance to kill Hao Ren.
He seems unaware that I've recovered to Core Formation realm and is currently infusing spiritual energy into a妖獸 (yaozoo)...
Duan Yao clenched her fist with nails digging into the palm, suddenly feeling nervous.
All these events were caused by Hao Ren. If not for Zhen Fei’s rescue, she would have already died at the fifth layer of heaven. Hatred from destroying half of the Heaven Mountain Sect, enmity towards the Ancestor of Divine Martial Arts, vengeance for the death of fellow disciples who had reached Core Formation realm… and resentment over stealing her belongings, infiltrating the Heaven Mountain Sect secretly at night, making her take the blame...
Hao Ren’s infusion into Xiao Bai's meridians was reaching a critical moment. His black robe billowed as abundant spiritual energy surged out of his body.
Duan Yao was also a cultivator who had trained under the Ancestor of Divine Martial Arts for years, knowing that this was the most vulnerable phase for practitioners. Strangely enough, there wasn't anyone around Hao Ren to protect him at this moment.
Kill, kill, kill...
The voice of the Spiritual Martial Ancestor echoed in Duan Yao's mind.
Duan Yao looked at Hao Ren's side profile under the moonlight for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and then clenched her fist tightly before putting it away.
I will defeat him honorably without resorting to assassination!
Under the moonlight, Hao Ren’s side profile was so tranquil and gentle.
What Duan Yao didn’t know was that right as she put her fist away, Lu Family's sisters lying behind her also quietly retracted their hands.
If Duan Yao dared to harm Hao Ren, they would immediately take action!
"Bitch dog, you swallowed so much of my spiritual energy!" Hao Ren suddenly raised his hand and smacked Xiao Bai on the head.
Wuuu…
Xiao Bai was in such pain that tears were about to fall; it rolled over in front of Hao Ren and then nimbly jumped out through the window.
Swoosh!
The flames emitted from its paws were dazzling, and it suddenly transformed into a snow lion!
Its body was as big as an entire room!
The heat wave from the flames baked everyone in the room as if they were in a fire.
"Go!" Hao Ren was afraid it would wake up his grandmother, so he sent out a sword beam towards the sea.
Xiao Bai chased after the sword light and quickly flew far away; its speed had significantly increased!
All four legs and its tail were now golden in color!
Fourth stage!
Hao Ren's Transformation Technique helped Xiao Bai advance from third to fourth stage!
Duan Yao looked at Xiao Bai in astonishment, finally understanding how this seemingly ordinary snow lion could have such a rapid advancement in strength.
The Transformation Technique Hao Ren just performed was the complete version of the technique that even the Tian Shan Sect didn't possess! The beast tamers of the Tian Shan Sect could nurture spirit beasts' bloodlines, but their cultivation methods were based on an incomplete and fragmented version of the Transformation Technique!
If the Tian Shan Sect had a complete Transformation Technique, their strength would double. They wouldn't be considered impractical to become a sect at the Seventh Layer Heaven Realm!
This Hao Ren...
The more Duan Yao looked, the more amazed she became. Not only did Hao Ren have the complete Transformation Technique, but he could also perform it flawlessly. To communicate with spirit beasts wasn't as simple as one might think.
If not careful, a beast's ferocity would backfire against one's consciousness. Any misstep in spiritual energy channels could lead to demonic energy flowing backwards and cause significant harm to the body!
Chirp chirp...
Xiao Bai circled around the sea surface once before transforming into a white dog shape and barging back through the window.
If Xiao Bai used to be as big as a Chihuahua, now it was the size of a Samoyed!it gets dark," Hao Ren said. He already had an idea if they were to share one room."If you are going to stay separately, I will ask my second son to return to town and free up a spare bedroom," the gr...
